The Cellar Image of the Day is just a section of a larger web community: bright folks talking about everything. The Cellar is the original coffeeshop with no coffee and no shop. Founded in 1990, The Cellar is one of the oldest communities on the net. Join us at the table if you like!

Whenever we feature one of these, uh... unique cultural events, UT favors so much, it's always after the fact.
Now I can just hear the gnashing of teeth, tearing of cloth, and wailing in the night, because you missed them.

Cheer up Bunkie, you're getting advanced notice on this one.
This coming Saturday, June 19th, bounce your butt down to Bell Buckle, Tennessee, for the annual, "RC--MOON PIE FESTIVAL"

There will be a 10 mile run, parade, hog callin', contests/games, and of course the crowning of Queen Moon Pie and King RC Cola.

Looks to me like last year, the Miss Moon Pie wasn't thrilled with the Prince RC's attention to Miss Goo Goo Cluster.

I'm a little frightened by the Goo Goo Cluster Valkyrie.

He's all Goo-Goo for her Clusters. I know I am.

I keep thinking, with her shiny sprayed-on look, that she looks like an inflatable doll..HungLikeJesus Wednesday Jun 16 09:36 AM

I'm in love with a rubber doll
I'm in love, she's got no brains at all

You had me at 'hog callin' contest'

To be honest, you had me at Bell Buckle Tennessee.

The presence of moon pies and RC "Coca Cola" (That's the way you order one: "Gibme one of them RC coca colas ya got back there,") is just the icing on the cake.

The first two things I noticed about this picture were the left one and the right one.

Somehow, I just can't imagine "10 mile run" and "Moon Pie" at the same event.

I think that's Nirvana in that goo goo cluster outfit.

DanaC Wednesday Jun 16 01:35 PM

wtf is a moonpie?

and wtf is a googoo cluster?

squirell nutkin Wednesday Jun 16 02:04 PM

a moonpie is marshmallow sandwiched between two graham cracker cookies with the whole assembly being covered in chocolate. I'm not sure what you have over there that resembles a graham cracker.

Since the half-life of IOTD (and moon pies apparently) is short, I'll say the other quote (maple bars being fresh) is from the 80's flick Wild Life. No idea why that quote has stuck with me for so long, just tickled my donut shop fancy, I suppose.

Pop a Moon Pie into the microwave for 10-12 seconds and it multiplies the goodness tenfold!

DanaC Wednesday Jun 16 06:07 PM

The Moon Pies look a little like WagonWheels

The Goo Goo Clusters look awesome.

In Mexico, you know what they call Twinkies? "Los submarinos."

To Brianna--Actually, it would probably be spoken thusly: "Gimme one 'er them thar RC co' colas 'n uh moon pie." The "i" in "pie" would be drawn out to become almost a second syllable. Another variation would be "co' colars". By the way, that RC king looks a helluva lot like my older grandson. Yeeeee--HAW!
